SHANGHAI — Getting to and from airports these days is annoying enough to make any person want to give up traveling all together. That is unless you have friends in high places. <br />Chinese netizens were outraged yet again over the weekend after a video of an ambulance picking up a group of douchey travelers outside the Shanghai Pudong International Airport went viral.<br />According to a report by Shanghai's airport authority, a manager surnamed Yu called an airport ambulance and demanded the driver race over to Terminal 1 to pick up his wife, kid, and three friends, who had just arrived back from vacation. <br />Oh yeah, they also had a small army of duty-free shopping bags with them. <br />Video shows the ambulance with its lights on parked in a no parking zone as the people load their booty into the emergency vehicle. <br />The ambulance apparently then drove the shopaholics to an airport parking lot. <br />Nothing like a good old abuse of power to start the day. Unfortunately for Yu, he was given the axe and will also receive a nasty Communist Party finger wagging. <br />As for the ambulance guys, one driver was given the boot while another was given some demerits. <br />And if you're wondering how all the duty-free shopping bags are doing, after being transported to the hospital for a thorough examination, they were released and are doing okay.
